Is the 2021 I-Pace good enough to lead Jaguar to 'EV only' by 2025 ?! [Road Test]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มี.ค. 2021
- Car manufacturers often make bold claims and bold statements, but saying you will only make electric vehicles from 2025 when you currently only make one is pretty bold. Thanks to Harwoods Jaguar Chichester, I spent a couple of days with the latest Jaguar I-Pace. The simple question is...is it good enough to take Jaguar on that journey ?

I am fortunate enough to live the dream. The shortage of range twice a year is a worthwhile sacrifice
I agree with your overall enthusiasm for the iPace. I’ve had mine fir two years and absolutely love it. My previous cars have been a Porsche Boxster, a Porsche 911 (997) C4S and a Porsche 911 (996) Turbo . The iPace is just as much fun to drive as the Porsche sports cars and it’s far easier to get in and out of and far more practical as a daily driver. I get 420 km range only needing to charge it once a week on my 7kw home charger that takes about 8 hours. For a long trip there is absolutely nothing wrong with stopping for half an hour for coffee & lunch whilst getting a 40 to 80% charge in half an hour on a 50kw public charger. Do yourself a favor and buy that iPace you love, it’s a fantastic car, you won’t regret it!! Cheers Martin Rees New Zealand
I must be getting old. I'm watching a car video and I'm thinking: I like the colour of those window frames, on the house.
😂😂😂
I have been driving my ipace in Australia for 5 weeks now. Did 1200km in the first week from Canberra to Brisbane via Sydney, plenty of ultra rapid chargers every 200kms,..80% charge in 20mins...brilliant! Range is not an issue for me.
I’ve had one of these for a couple of years and it’s by far the best car we’ve had - the novelty of outgunning pretty much anything else at the lights still puts a big grin on the face
Mine arrives next Monday - can’t wait, especially as my current car is a Citroen Pluriel 😬
Good things come to those who wait 🙌🙌
I absolutely love the Jaguar I-Pace and it is defiantly my favorite EV on the market today. I've test driven a lot of EV over the last few years including the Ford Mach-e and the Tesla X and none of them give me the joy of driving a "Performance inspired" EV like the I-pace. Jaguar driving instructor even let me drag race a F-type in the I-Pace and it was amazing the way the electric motor put down the torque to the ground was like nothing I've felt before.
I totally agree! The I-PACE is an amazing car to drive. All it needs is for the 400 in EV400 to also mean miles per charge as well as the ‘BHP’
I have a 2019 I-Pace. A truly epic car, best day to day road car I've driven by a long shot
I have 2019 I-Pace too. If I was to go 230 miles, I would just stop somewhere on the way to add 30 miles. That would take about 10 minutes, which is enough time to use a bathroom.
@@tomusiaka Exactly. I thought the same thing when he said the range wasn't quite enough. Few people would drive 200+ miles without some sort of stop for maybe 30 minutes or so...
But.... if you need a reliable charging network, the only one you can rely on is Tesla’s network.
If I was in Ped’s position with work & life, the I-Pace wouldn’t be suitable.
When we can start hosting Supercar Experience days again, I couldn’t use the Jag, as it would add 2hrs to my drive home from some events.
If I’m unfortunate enough that I need to take a Lamborghini or a Ferrari home, I have to stop 3 times for fuel, which is a real pain..... and that’s only a 10min stop!
I’m with Ped on this one, if you do a lot of driving & you have a long journey, all you want to do is get there with the least amount of drama possible...... and for that, you need a Tesla.
@@thomassneath8134 which is why I said day to day road car. The vast majority of car use is short runs. If I wanted to go to south of France I’d hire a car, not take the iPace.
@@thomassneath8134 avoid ecotricity and actually there are a lot of reliable chargers: BP, Shell, instavolt, genie point, etc. All take contactless and most are affordable. I have 2019 I-pace live near Slough and have done trips and holidays all over before lockdown. Drove to wells in Somerset and back on a single charge. Ok it’s only 190 miles round trip, but majority is motorways and the mendips! When lockdown ends I’m driving to Perthshire in Scotland. Ped just buy one, Tesla range is never as high as they claim.
These look amazing.
Totally agree with you Pete.
Big gamble for Jaguar, 2025 isn’t that far into the future.
Then again, if you look back, 2017 seems like miles away.
TFI Friday. Spot on review!!! Have a safe weekend all!!
Cheers Justin 👍
nice to know you really liked it...I am surprised the update didn't include a significant lift in battery density or efficiency. ..enjoyed the short time I spent in one though the spirited driving it encourages did impact range...but so hard to resist.
Great looking car!!! Have a ‘23 on order. Can’t wait to get it!! Thank you for the review video.
I enjoyed watching the Video. I remember you reviewing the I Pace when It first came out.
Hi Jamie 🙋♂️
Stunning looking car ! Inside & out, great video.
Great quality review Pete. Very enjoyable as always.
Cheers Darren 👍
Great film as always Ped. With you on the I-Pace. We love Jaguar (I’ve had an F-Type and my wife drives an E-Pace). There is a sense that it’s the slight lack of range and the efficiency that stop the I-Pace being a Tesla beater, but we’re still very tempted, particularly as the Model Y is still a way off…🧐
I would add, as an I-Pace owner myself for 18 months, range in winter is 225 miles, but I've managed 260 miles with ease in summer months.
Great 👍
Agree, It's my first choice also. Most of the road tests to see how far this would go on a charge at 70 say 240-250. I would also like to see 300, but for us 250 fine. Thanks for the great review as always.
My thoughts exactly PP. I love the looks, both inside and out. Like you I regularly do long trips and don't want to stop and charge.
Unfortunately I don’t think you will have a choice, we will al be going EV in the UK at least. Need to look at our attitude towards driving and planning our routes and breaks for brief charges before going on with the journey. It really isn’t as difficult as everyone on here make it out to be. Obviously if you can charge from home it is much easier and more convenient. Leave home everyday with a full charge/tank of fuel. Whilst i was asleep. Not an issue. About a penny a mile in fuel costs. No brainier compared with 10-20pence per mile on an ICE vehicle.
@James Calvert Fossil fuel industry really want to see hydrogen being adopted because it will keep them in business. Very little hydrogen is created using renewable technology. Information coming from the likes of Hyundai, Kia and MG regarding range and charging speeds for their forthcoming releases should make Jaguar think about their range and charging speeds. Sure the IPace is beautiful inside and the handling is exceptional but, if Jaguar don't up their game they are going to be left behind.
@James Calvert My sentiments exactly. Just as there is Petro & Diesel - there is no real reason wht there could not be both Hydrogen and EV.
Nice spec and love that you didn’t edit out the child lock part! That was funny and oh so easy to do. 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦
Good review Ped that colour wheels combination does look great I would love an iPace they look superb and 4x4 is a bonus. Just have to wait till the price comes down
Interesting vid tonight,really enjoyed it.By coincidence I had my first drive in a ev today and was very pleasantly surprised.It was an e-golf,did around 30 miles,very smooth,very quiet and very quick.
Good aren’t they 👍
Nice car let’s hope it’s reliable??? lovely to see the wee pedlars hope they are well.👍👍🐶🐶
I’m sold I’d have one tomorrow in a heartbeat as time goes by the battery range is going to be better without a question but what a classic car really good video Pete really enjoyed it keep up the good work😊😎👌
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great vid, i love this car. I have a similar problem as you that I own a second gaff in Wales, Ffair Rhos to be precise. 260miles ish from Surrey. I have a Freelander 2 and a motorbike. When i go by car, I just want to get there asap and get the logs on the fire. By bike, with a range of 160 miles ish, I'm happy to stop off say in Bath or Bristol to refill. This is very relaxing and now part of the journey as I can break the journey to check out the shops and cafe's (for lunch) which i now call part of the journey. So i would research the best charging points for maybe lunch break, which would charge enough to get you to your destination after an hours charge or so. All part of a nice day out 👍 Sadly in lockdown this sucks.
Nice review again. Lovely car, just that range issue as you say. It’ll be interesting to see where the Q4/ID4/Enyaq sit in the mix, quoting 300 miles plus, but real world probably somewhere around the 250 mark. Still a way to go to tempt us out of ICE but we’re getting closer with each iteration.
Excellent assessment of the 2021 model. I owned a 2019 HSA throughout 2020 and agree with all the points you make (except in relation to the infotainment system which was nowhere near as good as it is in the latest model).
I sold the I-Pace because of the range limitations, as you rightly point out, and the dire public charging infrastructure which you have highlighted in previous reviews. Don’t even get me started on Ecotricity, although InstaVolt gets top marks. I sold the Jaguar and bought a Model 3 Long Range which addresses my two main problems, range and charging. Incidentally, as you know, the M3 is considerably more efficient than the I-Pace which is a real watt-guzzler. I was using 360 watt/hours per mile with the I-Pace while the M3 (on a smaller battery) gets its 300+ range because it do a mile on under 250 W/h. It is much cheaper to run, especially with my overnight Octopus rate of 5p per unit and the greater range (which means using less of the expensive public energy). Over the course of a year this is a significant saving, not that my primary consideration has ever been cost saving to that extent. It’s nice to have, though.
The Model 3 is a very different car, of course, and belongs to a cheaper price range than the HSE. The Jaguar is probably better built and has more of an aura of luxury. But the Tesla is remarkably well equipped with driver aids (better than the Jaguar) and I do not feel short changed having made the swap. I am revelling in the minimalism compared with the compromise layout of the Jaguar’s controls. Incidentally, I considered all the other high-end EVs (including Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Polestar) but share the Jaguar’s major problem of not having access to a grown-up charger network. As an all rounder, I feel happier with the Tesla. We’ll have to see how I feel after a year...
Have you heard of the joining of Gridserve and Electric Highway. Looks full of promise for the future of MSA charging. Some chargers have already been replaced.
Great video Pete but please please get a mic for your driving shots. There’s loads of road noise and it’s very hard to hear you over that and the vibrations through the windscreen, especially on this video. Keep up the good work though 👍🏼
Well in 2022, yes! I just bought mine last month. It's the same portofino blue colour but the non-black edition SE. It is fantastic (satnav issue aside) but it looks exactly the same as the one you tested. I love it! It is a splendid car to drive. And no child locks on 🙂
I've had a MY20 HSE and just took delivery of a MY21 HSE...I'm getting 240 mile range, and that's not by sitting in the cold with the lights off! It's a brilliant vehicle...comfortable, luxurious and responsive!
Nice 👍
Lovely vid fella, I really like them, different colour though for me 🙌
Another great vid Ped. Are you going to give the Kia EV6 a go when they start releasing the press cars? Looks like it could be a properly interesting take on the EV genre!
"230 miles without a stop" ... that's a long time to be seated without a break, and it would only need a short break (with rapid charge) to put in a bit of energy to make that distance comfortably within range.
You’ve made a sensible point but die hard owners of ice cars will not be convinced.
@@chruth1986 Yeah, but a "short break" can fully recharge a petrol car for another 230 miles.
It's not about being die-hard, it's about there not being a workable alternative yet. With a disability and somewhat dependent on medical equipment, an EV would be even more restricting.
Many years ago, for work, I had to travel from South midlands to Carlisle. I needed to do it in one day. So I asked the then ex if she wanted to come. Which she did. I asked her, "Will you need to stop on the way?" She said she would. So I left her at home 8-))...
229 miles there and 229 miles back. No stops on the way. Only had a quick break when I was in Carlisle*
* Slight lie. On the way back, I stopped for a KFC. But I had done my work by getting to Carlisle ASAP. 8-))...
I'm a bit late to the party this week, didn't watch until Saturday so this might have been said already. I find the best place to put the charging cables in my 2019 I-Pace is in the little cubby under the bonnet. Just the right size and accessible without emptying the boot.
Don't know if you are still following comments to this, but after watching the review, I went down to Harwoods and bought the exact car you tested. Taking delivery next week. Thank you !
That’s amazing. Congratulations 👏
You’ll love it...I did 👍
Suddenly realised whilst watching this video that I went to Uni with you Pete! Hope you’re well. I’m getting an IX3 soon, you need to review that 😎
I remember the name. How cool is that. How are you mate ?
@@PetrolPed good thanks. Putting the degree to good use designing medical devices. Keep the videos going, really interesting viewing and well filmed 👍🏻
A good video Ped. I’d like to address the range thing from my perspective as a driver trainer.
The journey from Chichester to Cornwall is a long one with few fast roads and a lot of tourist traffic at times. As a Portsmouth resident I’ve done the journey to Devon a few times in an EV. Any driver doing this journey should take a short break. The Highway Code rule 91 says 15 minutes every two hours. If I was doing a fleet assessment on a driver who said they were doing 4 to 6 hour plus journeys without stopping my report would reflect discussions we’d have around it and if they said their boss made them do it the report would be worded to make their boss realise how irresponsible they’re being.
OK you might say I’m being pedantic but this is how roads should safely be used. On your journey to Cornwall you wouldn’t run the iPace almost flat then look for a charger to fill it right up again. You just need to stop somewhere on the way for 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the charger, to add another 50 to 80 miles. If you did this when the battery was about half full you’d get a lot of charge quickly. There must be times you need a quick loo break, or am I thinking like the middle aged man I am. You’d also pass dozens of rapid chargers on the way. Do you have a charger at your house in Cornwall as well?
If you love the iPace and all that stops you getting one is having to stop for 15 minutes on occasional journeys you are missing out on ownership of a very nice car. We saw the smile on your face along the B road.
Another thought on fuel tax. Have a look at the costs to the NHS of the affects of traffic pollution. There are various reports. One found about £9billion a year. One put the cost per car in London at £8,000 in its lifetime. Plus the costs to the taxpayer of decommission the North Sea infrastructure which the oil companies made the money using. The £27 billion a year fuel duty would not be missed if we didn’t have these costs. But it’s great for the government to have everyone thinking how will they replace fuel tax. It means we easily accept new taxes like road pricing.
A late 2019 (2020 model) of the I-Pace SE is the same price as a mid-spec new ID4 (long range).
Which would you guys consider the better choice?
Model Y is about 20K more than that in this market.
Really good video, looks a great car
Driving 3.5 hours non-stop isn’t recommended from a health point of view. Although I’m no doctor! If you stopped for 20 mins for a leg stretch, a wee and to reload on Yorkshire Tea, you could charge an I-Pace enough to get to your holiday home in beautiful Cornwall.
funny, all hGV drivers drive 4.5 hours and then have brake 45min, and again 4.5 hours of driving, everyday.
Just bought one actually ....traded in my 2015 S3 Sportback yesterday. Wow, i pace just amazing to look at and drive !!
Enjoy it
Love this car great review pete 👍🏼
another great video. thanks P.
👍
👍 another great video Pete
Thanks Graham 👍
This was a lovely video, very imformative and felt very genuine. Ive been playing with the idea of an ipace, although my true love is the F type, this video has done a great job in showing off the great features of the ipace, although I am wondering how much more expensive electric charging will be? I guess with a charging set up at home this becomes less of a concern, but again, lovely video, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
.......and I thought you'd been out stockpiling the wood for next winter! To be honest, I sort of like it, being able to see ahead of the next bend.
Solid state battery will solve the range issue as long as they do the weight saving that all new cars should be subjected to.Never seen any new car come out with less weight than it predecessor which is just madness and there is no excuse for it.
Nice review, hit the nail on the head though. Do you go with your head aka decent range and charging network, a Tesla. Or go with your heart like a premium German brand or JLR. I hear the koreans might be a good middle ground, being more affordable and strong range, so maybe they will be the overall winners. Vw and Skoda also ones to watch. Its all so exciting 😁
Great review! The I-Pace would also have been my option with a real range of 500 kms (considering normal driving and usage of confort tech).
Excellent review, pity about the range but I am happy to take a break to recharge my batteries as well as the car's
After watching your review of the I-PACE (and already loving the Jag range of cars), i have taken the plunge into EV ownership and just brought my first EV. A Jag I-Pace HSE. Loved the test drive but cant wait to take it out for a proper drive. Great content, keep up the good work.
Hi everyone so excited for this video as the I pace is my favorite electric car!
Have you been able to build the I pace LEGO yet?( I know your super busy doing awesome things for the channel) if I had the money the I pace is the one ev I would buy. I wonder if they will ever be a reliable 2nd hand buy??
Did the Formula E car last weekend. I-Pace is planned for later today. Such a great way to switch off from all things TH-cam 👌
my dad got this car (almost the same model but has some differences) a couple of days ago. i love it already. it drives very nicely, it is very comfy, and i love the design. we are going up to scotland this summer (the isle of mull) so it will be intresting to see how it will do. overall very pleased with the car so far :)
Cool 😎
I drive a BMW i3s and the most the GoM has ever stated as range is 226 miles on a warm day last summer, mostly it sits at about 160-170 miles. Mostly use it for journeys within 50ish miles from home. But we did travel down to Cornwall last summer with the mutt. Stopped twice, once for a bladder and coffee break and again for the mutt. Arrived with 30% charge. Both stops were about 30 mins. I do get the argument for 300+ miles but in reality, ~200 is liveable for most people most of the time and also keeps the purchase price down. iPace is a really bold Ian Callum design classic & would certainly fit our usage when the i3s is changed
I’m in the US and I have a 2019. You don’t see very many I-paces on the road here so I love the way it turns heads. Even though I have an ICE for long distance driving, I agree, I wish it had at least 300 miles of range. Another plus would be faster charging ability. Even with fast chargers you’re still looking at an hour or so to charge up.
In my mind the I-Pace will be perfect for a trip to Cornwall, wish i could afford one. I usually leave London about 4am and drive until I find a place for breakfast and toilet break (my bladder is not cast iron like yours as you can do the trip without stopping), ideal time to charge to make it with plenty of range. Now, if I was doing a 125 mile round trip in one day then I'd also want a car with more range as i wouldn't want to charge on this kind of trip (but it won't stop me getting an I-Pace if i could afford it)
Getting mine Monday - cant wait - HSE in Blue
Nice 👍
I agree it’s the best day to day car I have ever driven AND I wish It had a bit more range.
Great looking car Pete. Hopefully by 2025 the infrastructure will be much improved and Jaguar will have an impressive line up and longer range capabilities. 👍
After a lot of market study and gone through the reviews decided to buy Jaguar I pace.. turns to a right decision ..amazing car looks like small - it is an advanced design. comfort and handling is superb. 400 bhp & it is over filled with technologies.. chosen the Air Suspension. I had Premium cars from last 15 years Merc - Audi & Jag XF. This I pace is something else cant compare with others especially the built quality. Jaguar Durability
Great review. I got a BMW i3 4 years ago and by comparison I quickly started to see our ICE second car as expensive to run (fuel, servicing costs) and generally just frustrating to live with - noisy, lack of one-pedal driving, having to scrape ice off it in winter, getting into an oven in the summer etc. I really wanted to get an iPace as my next car, but sadly outside my lease limit - oddly the more OTR expensive Mercedes EQC was not so waiting on one of those.
The trouble with fuel savings logic is the 74,000 miles worth of petrol you can buy with the average ice to electric purchase price difference. Penny wise and pound foolish.
@@stevezodiac491 I’ve clocked up 100k+ miles so far and being a company car the tax maths is very much in favour of EV’s. My commute was a 160 mile round trip so the fuel cost logic was fairly straightforward compared to a diesel option - and the even the train which was my previous commuting choice. But yes, all the while the legacy manufacturers are profiteering off EV’s (the cost of batteries does not warrant much if any price differentials) then for private buyers the challenges will remain ☹️
@@stevezodiac491 if your choosing a company car then pure electric is a complete no brainer, it's virtually a free car.
Hi Ped, you are absolutely right! EV driving needs a change of mindset, providing you put the car on charge you will always have a full “tank” so no need to ever go to the fuel station (public charge point) unless you’re going to do more than 200 miles.
The challenge for me is what can you tow with an electric car? Can you do a video on this please, there’s got to be a few caravaners or people who tow trailers from time to time in your 100K subscribers.
Schnauzers look like they are also fans of the I pace. Lovely dogs.
They sure are 👍
I have a 2020 iPace that I think is absolutely brilliant in most respects.
The two key downsides are the range and charging infrastructure, which are both covered here. However, the Jaguar does have trouble charging at sites where others can charge without a problem, so it's not all down to the infrastructure. The charging infrastructure is rapidly being upgraded so I'm less concerned about that. The only real problem I have had was around the very North of Scotland where there's next to no functioning rapid chargers.
The range on the iPace is poor when compared to other vehicles though. It appears to chew threw the electricity much faster than other cars with a similar sized battery, so needs to get more efficient. Getting more efficient means the range improves or the price drops, both good things.
Hopefully by the time I come to get my next car, probably 2023, then there will be more options out there to choose from with a good range and price point.
Great video as always, not a fan of ev's I'm general but the jag would be my choice if I did go for one
Hi Ped, as you have driven both the ipace and the fpace I was wondering what you think of as a comparison of the 2 cars. I have seen that a 2019 ipace and a 2019 fpace can be picked up for the same price on the used car market.
Totally different cars really. F Pace 3.0L diesel is a brilliant car if you don’t mind diesel. IPace is one of the best looking EVs out there 👍
Great video, really enjoyed it. I tend to agree with you, I am desperate to get into a EV, but its the range issue (and the speed of charging) that's stopping me. When I have to travel a long distance, I don't want to be having to accept I am going to need to stop for a 'significant' amount of time, as well as search for a suitable/active/available charging points along that journey in order to make my destination. The serenity of driving an electric car doesn't always naturalise the anxiety felt within when commuting in a EV over long distances... but once it does, (and i hope its real soon) then I'm all in :)
It's a bit heavy which impacts range. I wonder how many more miles you'd get if you removed the back seat? :)
Recently test drove one of these and agree. Totally in love with the look and the way it drives. Realistically, it has enough range for 95% of my driving but there’s always that bit of hesitation. Its also kind of ruined most other cars I’ve been considering (both EV and ICE). Wouldn’t have expected one of the older entrants from a small manufacturer to still be so compelling
Great cars 👍
@@PetrolPed I got an HSE black a few months ago, incredible to drive, looks fantastic from all angles, and very comfortable at both low and high speeds. Its quite heavy, so maneuvering through windy country roads at speed isn't easy, and it has a real tendency to understeer. The only EVs I have driven that are better are the Taycan 4S, and the i4 M50. Considering those are both much newer, that says something about how good a 4 year old car still is.
I'm ok with the range because thinking of my daily driving, I very seldom need to drive 200+ miles in a day. One improvement I would like to see is replacing all the rear view mirrors with cameras & screens to improve the aero-efficiency.
The rear view is fine when you get used to I! Better than a Ford Mustang
Ped by this there is lots of charging on the way to cornwall, You would only need a 15mins charge then plug up when you arrive at you Holiday home
Many thanks Simon
Ped, you won't be waiting too long for your range. For example, Renault Zoe: 2013, 22kwh battery, 2020, 55kwh battery. BMWi3: 2014, 22kwh, 2018, 42kwh - in both cases, in the same space within the car. Battery tech (and therefore range) will keep improving.
Hopefully this will allow the batteries to get lighter too
Great video review of a great car, I know as I have one. For me being retired range is no issue, it’s very cheap car to run, less than 2p per mile. I do think it would be a good idea if Jaguar teamed up with a good charging network. Range well in summer I get around 250 miles, and oh sorry I couldn’t live with a Tesla interior.
👍
Very nice review and nice good looking Jag!
It could eke out some more range but the aero is not great. There are electric SUVs with around 300 miles range but not beyond that. Precisely due to being SUVs, as aero is key!
Success to Jaguar and JLR in their next EV steps!
Afternoon Peddlers! Pete, glad you made it out of the back of the Jaguar! Great video, but for me the highlight was the pooch cameo at 1:49.....epic! My vote for You Tube Emmy for best supporting actors! 🤣
Had to drop them in somewhere 😜😂
Hi Ped,
Long term subscriber here.... saw you in Waitrose and wanted to thank you personally but decided not to invade your privacy (I’d hate that and I’m sure you must get that a lot!)....... After your reviews of the iPace I bought one from Jaguar Chichester..... so thank you for your reviews of it as they were easily the best out there (and I’ve watched them all 🤓)...... keep up the great work with your channel, I’ll keep trying to book your Mavi house but I may have to wait a few years to get a slot!
Very best and thanks again... Jas.
Hi There. Next time co e and say hi. I love meeting you guys. Thanks for the kind words and hope to see you in Waitrose again soon 😂
apart from the crappy app (and the fact there are 2 jaguar 'remote' apps so thats weird) here's a couple of observations since i bought my 2020 HSE ipace, if i'm doing something wrong please let me know :
- it has heads up display which can show everything except range left in battery
- steering wheel adjustment still manual, but seats/mirrors ARE electric/memory based, so when a diff driver gets in (which is the main point of having memory based settings) they still have to adjust the steering wheel manually
- heated steering wheel temp is fixed and almost scalds your hands after 5 mins
- no visible indication your cars charging once you lock it
- when you select drive mode you dont know what mode you're in since its not displayed anywhere
- no wireless charging on my 'high spec' model
It’s a good looking car. I wonder if in the future, there will be the opportunity to upgrade the batteries on these EVs as technology improves ?.
Nice review and you're right about Jaguar taking a risk. We will have to see how they pack in the amps. If not, I can't see a new electric F-Type, can you?
I was very much going doing the Tesla route to replace a range rover had reservations around build quality and finding an affordable replacement with comparable features to a RR L405 SE. The I-Pace seems to be a more closer match. The range may be an issue living in Cornwall it's a long way to visit family up in the lakes. I will be wandering over to the local dealers this weekend. Brilliant and useful review.
My father ordered one and it’s coming at the end of the month. I really hope it’s really good :/ definitely gonna miss the exhaust and engine noise of out current car ://
It is quiet, though there is a noise generator that you can select if you really want to, sounds like a space ship...
tbh, you get used to the lack of noise very quickly.
This is the second EV piece you’ve created which is great. I congratulate you for that. I do think however that you focus to much on range without considering charging speeds. This was highlighted as a very important factor recently when comparing Model 3 LR and Audi eTron.
Range is important but speed of charge is probably as important.
Thanks. At the moment a non Tesla EV that can do more than 50kw charging is most of the time limited to 50kw because you are lucky to find a charger faster than that 😬
Was that the video that claimed the eTron would actually charge quicker than the Model 3 and therefore compensate for its inefficient drive train? Unfortunately that one has already been discredited...

Evening Pete, hi peddlers 👋👋. Not just Jaguar I read today that Mini will be all electric from 2025 (no more new petrol models I believe) I just hope the powers that be can sort out the infrastructure otherwise manufacturers will be left high and dry!! Another great video 👌👌
It won't happen, the manufacturers will lose out because people will buy from the ones that sell ICE.
Hi Pete
Yes it’s a lovely car mate in fact this is the car my lovely wife wants next
But I’m in no rush as I don’t want to part with the Audi SQ7 as I love that car 🚗
Great video mate 👍👍👍👍
Need to get out more when all I first thought was will those door handles work on a severe frosty morning ? . Agree with the conclusion overall it's just the infrastructure and price stopping volume take up
Couldn't live with the wheel arch to wheel gap on the side profile it looks jacked up the tyres look lost?
Great Review as ever, I've got an almost identical I-pace as this (only difference is it's caesium blue not portofino) and although it's a fantastic point to point machine which in the real world runs rings around ICE cars...I have to say it's so incredibly soul-less that I'm left screaming for something with some noise/engagement after 4000 miles/3 months. Also it's let me down on an almost weekly basis which is simply. not good enough for a car of this price point (mine lists at £77k but is through a salary sacrifice scheme) and if I was paying anywhere near the £1000 or so a month finance figures you'd pay to walk into a dealer and buy one I'd have returned the car months ago. So incredibly frustrating as they did such a good job on the dynamics of the car....it's the usual JLR shortfalls that let it down.
Not good 😳😢
Thanks for a really interesting video.
I’m just in the process of buying a new vehicle, probably the last one, before it has to be all electric.
I agree with you on the range issue, along with charging on route. However, it would be somewhat ironic if over the next few years the charging hardware issues are overcome, but then garage forecourts have to facilitate hydrogen, along with all that goes with it.
Quite a bit can happen over the next 4 years.
Hydrogen fuel cells are not a good option for cars. You still have to have a battery to store the electricity produced by the fuel cell and use electric motor/s to move the vehicle. It's adding a whole lot of complication for no gain. The fossil fuel industry love hydrogen because almost all of commercially available hydrogen is produced by them. The EVs coming from Hyundai and Kia in the next few month/year or so have great range and very fast charging speeds. Things are moving rapidly and Jaguar will need to up their game significantly if they are not to be left behind. Back to hydrogen, it is likely to be more suitable for large trucks in the haulage industry and shipping, and possibly aviation but, it makes no sense for general motoring/personal transport. It's difficult to store and transport and very inefficient in terms of energy requirements to produce.

You make several relevant points on the subject of hydrogen and you are probably right.
I can’t wait for the new generation EV’s, but for me they would need at least 400 miles range and very rapid charging, when required on route. Overnight charging is ok, but future batteries will have to be extremely durable and long lasting.
To be honest, I don’t think a Hyundai or Kia would be my preference, so yes, Jaguar will need to get it’s act together and pretty quickly.
I’m also interested how all the people who live in terraced houses and high rise buildings will cope with EV ownership, unless wireless charging can help.
Still think the next 4 years will be very interesting.
Does the 2020 i-pace have pivi pro or is it just the 2021 model?
Not sure sorry 😬
Hi Peter the Jaguar is quiet luxurious and sleek and not a clone of every s u v on the road now, there are newer batteries being tested which show promise, one of those companies is Tesla but you probably knew that. There is the Hydrogen/electric hybrids to come also but as they said on Father Ted some years ago”it will all become clear on the turn of the next card!!!” 4 years is bit of time to wait and see, another great video by the way.
Its funny how things change in life that a year ago I needed 300 plus range now 220 is enough and one has now come up within my budget and spec. HSE spec, Air Suspension, Meridian Surround Sound etc. etc. Pushed the button on the purchase and it is being delivered on Friday. Doing my bit for the planet and my fitness as going to be a one and a bit car family, when boy home from University.
What is really needed is 300+ mile range during winter with the heated seats, air con etc on
Couldn’t fault the review; echoes my own thoughts about i-PACE! Let’s hope their mk 2 (I’m calling that one you tested the 1.5) does indeed crack 300 miles. Certainly 275 anyway.
... and it’s STILL the best looking EV you can buy!
Thanks John 👍
I have owned an I-Pace for 2 years now. It is the best car I have ever owned. Fantastic performance and roadholding. Stunning quality cabin (HSE spec.). I agree with the comments in the video that we want a realistic range of 300 miles as this permits overnight charging at home or destination. So called fast chargers are too unreliable particularly on the motorway network.
Hey Ped and Peddlers hope all are well ! 👍
Hi 👋 Chris I’m well how are you?
@@coltoncleveringa8004 hey Colton all good thanks buddy, apologies for the delay in replying my net decided to crash half way through the video 😂 glad your well mate 👍
Hi 🙋♂️
I loved the comedy section. Would love to see the out take. Jags are such lovely cars i expect I'll end up with one of these not sure how mrs will tow her horse trailer
Hey Pete, we drive to south of France regularly, until the range gets to at least 500miles ( half way) I'll stick with my BMW. 60mpg average, 70 being super careful . Great vid mate 👍
You genuinely drive 500 miles without stopping?
@@Tom-ih8gr
You don't have to stop for hours.
@@Tom-ih8gr morning Tom, ofcourse we stop several times but not enough time to charge a battery.
@@Robert-cu9bm morning Robert, at this point of ev technology I would not one ,but may well do in the future.
@@iandeakin4503
I'm with you.
Who wants to stop for hours to charge.
With petrol 15mins fed and fuelled ready to go again.
And no worries that the field station won't work when you get there, or be full and have to wait for hours for others to finish fuelling.
